What sources are you going to use AP001 with? Do try a Sansa Clip / Zip if you have one.

Will do H20. My zip is attached to the NX1 for now until my Fiio X1 arrives. Right now running it in with the Rocco BA driving the Philips S2. I've always like the bass on the S2 and it's really flashing them bass out in spades. Guess the S2 will be seeing some playtime after being in the drawer for some months now. Great buy to rediscover some old gears. Cheers.

I originally bought the AP001 for reasons completely unrelated to audio. I've actually been looking for a cheapo splitter ever since I sold off my E07K (which had dual headphone output jacks). It's extremely useful for allowing my friend and I to listen to university lecture recordings concurrently when we're in the library, without needing to either play it through the speakers, or to be adjoined like siamese twins sharing one side of a single pair of earphones.
 
I don't intend to (or have the luxury of time) test it with any of my portable sources, but since I just happened to have both my Sansa Clip Zip and Kogan Player lying around, I took a listen to a couple of songs through them.
 
For music listening, the AP001 is decent I suppose. Bass becomes more meaty... and that's about it. I don't quite fancy tit is mainly the sub-bass which experiences a lift, although I do suppose there are some IEMs which might benefit from it (IM02 maybe). Hiss is pretty annoying for me through my Sansa Clip Zip using my UE10Pros. With the Kogan Player, hiss is still evident, but significantly lower than the Clip Zip.
 
The sub-bass tilt also benefits the Kogan more than the Zip, though I wouldn't say it improves the SQ of the Kogan. Overall note presentation becomes fuller and thicker, but as compensation, the Kogan's startling level of detail and clarity becomes somewhat compromised.

Bottomline is, I didn't intend to use the AP001 as an amp, and I still don't, unless I somehow get the urge to inject some serious bass into my music for a moment (which rarely happens)

I was also not able to track the shipment from the point they left HK. The package just showed up out of the blue and fortunately someone was home to receive it. Took about 2 weeks in all so probably it should be soon for you. Hope you get yours soon.

Hi,
You should contact MP4Nation's customer service and inquire.

I plan to do so after giving this maybe another week. I'm looking forward to confirming for myself many peoples' high regard for Brainwavs products.

  It can take up to a month for packages from Asia to arrive for US buyers, so be prepared for a long wait.

I've bought stuff from China before. I've gotten 2 heaphone cables (HD558 and HD600 cables) and I've bought from Penon several times before as well. I wonder what might be making this stuff from MP4Nation take longer? All of my other products got to me in under 2 weeks while it's nearly been a month with this order and I can't even track it. It's why I'm waiting until the end of the month since I know stuff can take a while to get here, but the tracking literally said it shipped overseas 2 weeks ago. What could possibly in this package that warrants a month-long holdup in customs?? Brainwavs doesn't pack volatile materials in their products! Unless you count good SQ as something volatile
